Jesus repliedG611, “A wickedG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 demandsG1934 a signG4592, but noneG3756G4592 will be givenG1325 itG846 exceptG1487G3361 theG3588 signG4592 of theG3588 prophetG4396 JonahG2495. 40ForG1063 asG5618 JonahG2495 wasG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 theG3588 bellyG2836 of theG3588 great fishG2785, soG3779 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will beG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 theG3588 heartG2588 of theG3588 earthG1093.

41The menG435 of NinevehG3536 will standG450 atG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG1074 andG2532 condemnG2632 itG846; forG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 theG3588 preachingG2782 of JonahG2495, andG2532 nowG2400 One greater thanG4119 JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 42The QueenG938 of the SouthG3558 will riseG1453 atG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG1074 andG2532 condemnG2632 itG846; forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 theG3588 endsG4009 of theG3588 earthG1093 to hearG191 theG3588 wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672, andG2532 nowG2400 One greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.

WhenG3752 anG3588 uncleanG169 spiritG4151 comes outG1831 ofG575 aG3588 manG444, it passesG1330 throughG1223 aridG504 placesG5117 seekingG2212 restG372 andG2532 does not findG3756G2147 it. 44ThenG5119 it saysG3004, ‘I will returnG1994 toG1519 theG3588 houseG3624 I leftG3606G1831.’ On its returnG2064, it findsG2147 the house vacantG4980, swept cleanG4563, andG2532 put in orderG2885. 45ThenG5119 it goesG4198 andG2532 brings with itG3880G3326G1438 sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4190 than itselfG1438, andG2532 they go inG1525 and dwellG2730 thereG1563. AndG2532 theG3588 finalG2078 plight ofG1565 thatG3588 manG444 isG1096 worseG5501 than theG3588 firstG4413. SoG3779G2532 will it beG1510 with thisG3778 wickedG4190 generationG1074.”

46WhileG2089 Jesus was still speakingG2980G1161 to theG3588 crowdsG3793, HisG846 motherG3384 andG2532 brothersG80 stoodG2476 outsideG1854, wantingG2212 to speakG2980 to HimG846. 47SomeoneG5100 toldG2036 HimG846, “LookG2400, YourG4771 motherG3384 andG2532 brothersG80 are standingG2476 outsideG1854, wantingG2212 to speakG2980 to YouG4771.”1

48ButG1161 Jesus repliedG611G2036G3588G3004G846, “WhoG5101 isG1510 MyG1473 motherG3384, andG2532 whoG5101 areG1510 MyG1473 brothersG80?” 49PointingG1614G846G3588G5495 toG1909 HisG846 disciplesG3101, He saidG2036, “Here areG2400 MyG1473 motherG3384 andG2532 MyG1473 brothersG80. 50ForG1063 whoeverG3748G302 doesG4160 theG3588 willG2307 of MyG1473 FatherG3962 inG1722 heavenG3772 isG1510 MyG1473 brotherG80 andG2532 sisterG79 andG2532 motherG3384.”
